What does Zeste de Gingembre smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin without leaving a heavy trail. Voters place it in leisure, daily and office use, with very few choosing it for evenings. Most read it as somewhat masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.

The top notes are orange zest, lime and lemon, giving a fresh, green and fruity opening. Ginger sits in the heart, and the base of black pepper, cardamom and pink pepper adds a spicy, lightly woody finish. The sweetness stays in the background. Frapin L'Humaniste Extrême and Profumi di Pantelleria Dammuso have a close profile.
